  • Notes 
    • The following is from Larry Wilson:

      George Nelson Wilson was born 12-16-1853 in Carthage (Adams County), Illinois. His parents were John Miller Wilson and Elizabeth “Eliza” Ellen Beebie (Beebe). George Nelson Wilson moved with his family to the Jasper County, Missouri area in 1856 and worked on the family farm. George Nelson Wilson had the following brothers and sisters; Charles E. Wilson, Sterling Price Wilson, Susan A. Wilson, William B. Wilson, Eliza E. Wilson, Rebecca J. Wilson, Margaret J. Wilson and Adaline Wilson. All the children with the exception of George Nelson Wilson were born in Missouri. After the death of Catherine “Kate” Simmons, he married Susan M. Shoemaker, 02-11-1867 or 1874. A question arises as one person had them married in Cooper County, Missouri. George Nelson Wilson and family moved to the Osage City, (Cole County), Missouri area. Of the marriage to Susan M. Shoemaker were born Myrtha 10-1893, Nellie 09-1895, Hattie 05-1897, and Maud 02-1899. George Nelson Wilson worked for the Missouri Pacific Railroad and was a commercial fisherman. He died 02-15-1940 in Jefferson City, Missouri and is buried in Riverview Cemetery. He was a member of the Baptist Church and believed to be an alcoholic.
